I enjoyed my time enough to collect all 120 stars. However, the process of getting there would have been much better if not for some issues. As expected for an early 3D game like this, the controls are wonky, and the camera is often frustrating. Concerning the levels, Hazy Maze Cave, Tick Tock Clock, and Rainbow Ride are all tedious to some degree. These stages are far from being awful, but they aren't stages I'm looking forward to replaying either. Some levels also kick Mario back to the castle grounds upon failure, which can get pretty annoying. But, the castle isn't big enough to make this a major problem. All things considered though, this is an important game with an iconic soundtrack that has left a huge positive impact on the industry.
